Why Would I Now?

Chords
pin

G           Cmaj7     G
Have I ever lost your way?
            Cmaj7       G
Have I ever left you waylaid?
            Cmaj7  G
Have I ever come unstayed?
C           G
Why would I now?

                   Em           G
There were times I loathed your name.
                   Em      G
There were times I laid on blame.
                   Em         G
There were times I brought on shame
    C           G
but why would I now?

                 D          C     G
For I will never be your familiar soul.
             D          C      G
I will never see your imperial whole.
                Em             C           G
But have I ever stood back and watched you fall,
C            G
ditched your call,
   C          G     D
or caught you bent around?
            G
Why would I now?

            Cmaj7       G
Have I ever steered you wrong?
            Cmaj7       G
Have I ever strung you along?
            Cmaj7    G
Have I ever kept you long?
    C       G
Why would I now?

                   Em                G
There were times I broke through the walls.
                   Em               G
There were times I broke through it all.
                   Em      G
There were times I fell so hard
        C       G
but why would I now?

                 D          C     G
For I will never be your familiar soul.
             D          C      G
I will never see your imperial whole.
                Em             C           G
But have I ever stood back and watched you fall,
C            G
ditched your call,
   C          G     D
or caught you bent around?
            G
Why would I now?

Bm             C                 G
And though the years, they may upbraid you.
Bm     C            G               D
How it all nearly unmade you laying down.
             G
Why would it now?

                 Cmaj7    G
Remember when it all went dark?
                 Cmaj7       G
Remember when it first rent apart?
               Cmaj7   G
Remember how I held my mark?
       C          G
So why wouldn't I now?

                 D          C     G
For I will never be your familiar soul.
             D          C      G
I will never see your imperial whole.
                Em             C           G
But have I ever stood back and watched you fall,
C            G
ditched your call,
   C          G     D
or caught you bent around?
            G
Why would I now?
